    Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. Yes the girl at the mill knew what I wanted. I told her what I was doing. So all is good. I am hoping to get in by september or october.. She said that you can even use it as scratch. Not sure if that is a good idea or not. What do you guys think?

    Are rats dangerous to chickens?

    Quote: The bucket one does work that is what I was going to suggest. We see alot of farmers have set ups like that around their big corn bins and feed holders. Make it easy for them to get in because once their in they are not getting out. No not a pretty site but it helps get the job done...
